"Dude. You're spacing out again." Taeyeon snapped me out.

"Tiffany. Tiffany. Tiffany. Tiffany." Yoong said as he counted some imaginary objects above my head. "It seems like you already mastered Tiffany subject, hyung. I bet you'll get the highest score on that."

"Seriously, get a hold of yourself. Tiffany will not go anywhere, okay." Tae said.

"I'm sorry. What are we talking about again?" I asked.

"We're not talking about anything." Yoong said.

"We're not??? I don't get you."

"Kwon Yuri, we are inside the library preparing for the midterm exams, in case you've forgotten. Yet, there you are spacing out like that." He retorted.

"Ohhhh. Yes yes. Of course." I said and pretended to read.

"Dude... The book's upside down."

"Ohhh. Yes. I'm trying to read it this way. You know... It helps on faster memorization." I said and nervously laughed.

"Really?" He looked at me amusely. "I might as well do that!" He said and flipped his book upside down.

Sigh...

The Tiffany virus, I think, went up to my brain already. This is really really insane. Her real identity has been clouding my mind since last week which she never really cleared up to me until now. What is worse is that ever since after our first date, she started to avoid me. No, she started to avoid everyone.

"Hyung. Are you really trying to fail the midterm exams?"

I sighed "I don't know. I'm really not in the mood to study now... I think I need to take a walk for a bit." I said and they both agreed.

I walked around the baseball field and saw Hyoyeon sitting alone on one of the benches. It seems like I'm not the only one distracted nowadays.

"Care to share some thoughts?" I asked.

"Oh Yul. Why are you wandering around? Too smart enough not to prepare for the midterms?"

"You're pretty much doing the same." I said and she giggled in response. "So, what's up?"

She sighed. "I haven't seen my boss around. It's been almost a month since I last saw him."

"You mean Sooyoung? Yeah… I haven't seen nor heard from the guy since the fake-bomb incident and that's like more than a month ago."

"He's not like this. Usually when his father shoves something to him that he doesn't like, he always come running to me and drags me along on his hideous rebellions."

"Maybe this time he didn't want to bother you. He'll come back to his old self soon."

"That guy... He's a goof but never really like this, skipping class for months."

I smiled at her. "You seem to be so concerned about him. I may start to believe you got feelings for him." I teased.

"Yah! It's not like that." She said and laughed nervously. "We've been friends since we were young. That's it. And I prefer girls, okay."

"Relax. I'm just kidding. But really, I wish Sooyoung would meet someone like you. Well, he deserves someone like you." I said and her cheeks turned red.

"Too bad I'm a lesbian." She said and we both shared a laugh.

"So, what's with you, the usual?" She asked.

"Yeah… My girlfriend's been avoiding me nowadays, considering we live in the same ho- I mean building."

"I don't know what happened to her either. One day she just started to wear that stupid red cloak and I don't wanna know where she got that." She face-palmed herself. "She's even worse than Jessica now."

"That stupid cloak… I want to burn that so mad but I couldn't snatch it away from her." I sighed.

"Don't worry. She'll come back to her old self too."

"Hyoyeon..."

"Yeah?"

"What if you fall for someone you never really know completely and he-"

"She. Not He." She snapped.

"Errr I mean she-- doesn't want to tell you anything about her life, would you just let it be?"

"Hmmmm... Don't worry. I'm pretty sure Tiffany is not an evil woman. She's what-you-see-is-what-you-get, a stereotype princess. Though she's acting weird sometimes."

"Yah! First Jessica said she's a typical girl, now you say she's a stereotype princess. She really is not like that. And who says I'm asking about Tiffany?"

She chuckled. "Tiffany really got that princess aura,
